About Us
Needlepointers.com is the result of a mother-daughter team with a great passion for handcrafts. Both Annette Rosanelli and her daughter, Chris Rickert, inherited their love of crafting from generations of women in their family, including their grandmother and great-grandmother. For the two, crafting is a way to spend quality time together.
Some of the crafts the pair enjoys include counted cross-stitch, sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, machine embroidery, quilting, and needlepoint—all of which involve the use of a needle. So it was no surprise that this duo chose to use the word needle in the site’s name. And since they wanted to share information about their favorite crafts by providing helpful hints, tips, and suggestions, they chose the word "pointers" to complete the website’s name. Put the words together, and you have Needlepointers.com!
In Oct 2011, the pair launched their YouTube channel, Needlepointers, which has grown to over 120,000 subscribers, 1,000 videos, and 20 million views.
This Etsy shop was started to provide our readers with ad-free, printable versions of our FREE tutorials on Needlepointers.com.
